This article details the documents that are required for organisations to open an account with Airwallex if your business is registered in Singapore.
Verification, known as KYC or ‘Know your customer’, is a process that regulators require to offer financial services to organisations and individuals. It involves reviewing and maintaining information on parties that use our financial services.
As a Korean Company account, you need to prepare the documents below:
Company Information
Certificate of Business Registration (사업자등록증명)

Secondary verification document
- Certificate of Registration within 1 year (사업자등록증) (view sample)
- Business Profile (등기사항전부증명서) within 1 year (view sample)
- Bank statement under the business name issued within the last 6 months

Ownership Structure Chart
If the ownership structure of your business could NOT be fully identified through a reliable source, please provide us with the most recent shareholder register or ownership diagram that meets the following requirements:
- Full Legal Name and shareholding percentage of the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (any individuals holding 25% or more ownership share or voting rights);
- Registration country and shareholding percentage of each intermediary shareholding entity;
- If there are no individual Ultimate Beneficial Owners, then please declare in the shareholding structure and provide information on the key controller.
- The document should be signed and dated by a director along with his/her printed name; the director's signature can be provided either in handwritten or certified seal (view sample).
- The signed document should be issued within 12 months and cannot be altered or edited.
